Box 2100, 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland - TEL: +41 22 791 6033 - FAX: +41 22 791 6506 www.actalliance.org Appeal Ethiopia Drought Response - ETH111, Revision 3 Appeal Target: US$7,621,198 Balance Requested US$2,220,641 Geneva, 10 July, 2012 Dear Colleagues, The ACT Alliance Ethiopia forum has found it necessary to revise the current appeal to include drought rehabilitation activities and to prioritise activities based on the funding received to date. This revised appeal replaces the previous one issued on October 6th 2011, ETHrev2. New and revised parts of the document are highlighted in green colour. Pre ETH111: The worst drought in 60 years hit the Horn of Africa, affecting more than 12.4 million people according to UN OCHA. In Ethiopia, some 4.8 million needed immediate support to meet their daily food requirements. In addition, approximately 120,000 people from Somalia crossed the border to Ethiopia and are currently living in crowded and under-resourced refugee camps in Dollo Odo. Recent conflict in Sudan has also resulted to more than 25,000 refugees crossing the border seeking refuge in Ethiopia. The prolonged La Nina conditions in Ethiopia affected a second consecutive rain season resulting in drought. Following a complete failure of the 2010 October‐December rains and related harvests, the 2011 March‐May rains began late and were erratic. This led to the current drought, which is considered the worst in thirty years. The drought is characterised by substantial harvest failure, decrease in water availability, deteriorating pasture conditions and livestock losses in the southern, south-eastern pastoral and agro-pastoral parts of the country, including major bulgar cropping areas of Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR and Tigray. 4,567,256 people and their livestocks were identified as affected by the drought and required urgent assistance. Out of the total, 41% of the needy population is from Oromia region while 31% is from Somali region and 31% from Amhara region. According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWSNET) and World Food Programme (WFP) joint food security report, the cumulative effects of the failed October to December 2010 rains and the 1 insignificant contribution of early 2011 rains means that food security in lowland and pastoral areas will be classified at emergency levels in the coming months until the next good rainy season. This appeal complemented the ongoing efforts by the government of Ethiopia through the Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS), in collaboration with humanitarian partners (donors, NGOs, UN agencies). The original appeal contained nine components. Four of these were designed to support Ethiopians in nine Districts of the Oromia Region while three components were to provide basic assistance to refugees in Dollo Odo refugee camps. The appeal components included: 1. EECMY-DASSC – Food and agricultural provision in Gasara, Meda Wolabu and Saba Boru districts (closed) 2. LWF – Provision of food in Abaya, Chinaksen and Dawe Kachen Districts (revised) 3. LWF –Watsan, psycho-social, nutrition and environmental protection activities implemented in Dollo Odo refugee camps (revised) 4. IOCC/EOC-DICAC – Food and agricultural support provided in Diksis, Arsi-Robe and Tena, Dhas(revised) 5. IOCC/EOC-DICAC – Supplemental feeding, health, sanitation and education in Bokolomayo refugee camp (Dollo Odo) (revised) 6. CA/AFD – Water, livestock and capacity building provided in Miyo district (revised to spend balance) 7. ACT Ethiopia Forum appeal coordination(ongoing) 8. External Evaluation of appeal project implementation (revised). This revised appeal ETH111rev3 excludes the first component which has since been concluded. The appeal target is $5,400,557 which will be used to provide assistance for drought rehabilitation to the drought affected individuals targeted in the crisis phase in Abaya, Chinaksen, Dawe Kachen, Dhas, Miyo, Arsi Robe, Tena, Diksis and Liben districts of Ethiopia and to Somali refugees in Dollo Ado refugee camps. Members of the ACT Forum in Ethiopia are: Dan Church Aid (DCA), EOC/DICAC, EECMY/DASSC, Bread for the World (BftW), Christian Aid (CA), Church of Sweden (CoS), EED, Finn Church Aid (FCA), ICCO & Kerk in Actie, IOCC, Lutheran World Federation (LWF-DWS), Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), Diakonia Sweden. ACT Alliance members in Ethiopia have been working to provide immediate assistance to the population in Ethiopia and to the Somali refugees in the camps since the onset of the crisis in early 2011. Requesting members in this revised appeal are The Lutheran World Federation – Department of World Service (LWF-DWS), International Orthodox Christian Charities Inc./Ethiopian Orthodox Church- Development and Inter-Church Aid Commission (IOCC/EOC-DICAC), Christian Aid/Action for Development, and Norwegian Church Aid.

Abstract Descriptive and logit analysis were employed to investigate the impact of social, economic and technical factors on decisions to adopt new agricultural technologies in the Ada and Selale districts of Ethiopia. Peasants follow sequential adoption of technologies. In both study areas, priority is given to adoption of crop production augmenting technologies followed by technologies that complement crop production (Ada) and contribute to increases in milk production (Selale). Producers of both regions require existence of certain pre-conditions prior to the adoption of technologies. Ada farmers require more pre-conditions related to livestock production while Selale farmers require more preconditions related crop production.

O.Box 489, Ethiopia Abstract This study reports the analysis of agricultural extension gap among four improved bread wheat varieties at Arsi Robe district, Arsi Zone, along with their management practices under farmers ’condition to enhance farmers’ knowledge and skill on bread wheat production. Four improved bread wheat varieties were used to demonstrate namely Honkolo,DEKA,Hidase(check) and Lemu. Honkolo variety had a 43.8% yield advantage over the standard check (Hidase), DEKA had a 16.4% yield advantage over the standard check (Hidase), and the variety Lemu had a negative -25.8% yield loss or below the standard check (Hidase) and it conclude that both Honkolo and DEKA varieties are the fi rst and second option for the farmers whereas the variety Lemu is not recommended due to low productivity in the study area and others areas having similar agro ecologies. The result of agricultural extension gap analysis showed that Honkolo variety had a -2.7q/ha yield increment or in other words Honkolo variety had achieved 104.3% of the potential at research fi eld and had a 4.3% yield advantage than the research fi eld.

  • Sustainable Land Management Ethiopia
    www.ipms-ethiopia.org www.eap.gov.et Working Paper No. 21 Sustainable land management through market-oriented commodity development: Case studies from Ethiopia This working paper series has been established to share knowledge generated through Improving Productivity and Market Success (IPMS) of Ethiopian Farmers project with members of the research and development community in Ethiopia and beyond. IPMS is a five-year project funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and implemented by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) on behalf of the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD). Following the Government of Ethiopia’s rural development and food security strategy, the IPMS project aims at contributing to market-oriented agricultural progress, as a means for achieving improved and sustainable livelihoods for the rural population. The project will contribute to this long-term goal by strengthening the effectiveness of the Government’s efforts to transform agricultural production and productivity, and rural development in Ethiopia. IPMS employs an innovation system approach (ISA) as a guiding principle in its research and development activities. Within the context of a market-oriented agricultural development, this means bringing together the various public and private actors in the agricultural sector including producers, research, extension, education, agri-businesses, and service providers such as input suppliers and credit institutions. The objective is to increase access to relevant knowledge from multiple sources and use it for socio-economic progress. To enable this, the project is building innovative capacity of public and private partners in the process of planning, implementing and monitoring commodity-based research and development programs.

  • Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ethiopia
    The annual value of small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) in Ethiopia amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars – dominated in rough order of value by fuelwood, herbal remedies, wild coffee, honey and beeswax and timber furniture. The majority of these enterprises are informal and remain Small and medium forest largely unregulated and untaxed by any government authority. Nevertheless these enterprises appear to have significant social and economic benefits. The Government of Ethiopia has responded by providing support, particularly through enterprises in Ethiopia the framework of Micro and Small Enterprises. The recent establishment of the Oromia State Forest Enterprises Supervising Agency and new policy declarations about the community’s stated role in forest management are clear indications of the current interest in forest resources and the roles they play in rural livelihoods. Non-governmental organisations have also been experimenting with Participatory Forest Management and offered training to emerging enterprises, particularly those engaged in non-timber forest products. Yet few associations have yet been established to try and access the more lucrative markets beyond the local setting. SMFEs have great potential to reduce poverty in Ethiopia, but in their present unregulated state also represent a threat to the country’s declining forest resources. This report consolidates information about them and suggests a practical way forward for those wishing to support them. IIED Small and Medium Forest Enterprise Series No. 26 ISBN

It is the main staple food of the Ethiopian population particularly in the highlands where it is produced in a large volume. Though it was the most important; its production is constrained by different biotic and abiotic constraints. Of the biotic constraints; wheat stem rust is the most destructive and widely distributed disease in the world and in Ethiopia. It is prevalent in most wheat growing areas of Ethiopia and reports indicate that most Ethiopian wheat varieties are susceptible to most of previously identified races of Puccinia graminis f. Sp. tiritici and to the newly evolved Puccinia graminis f. sp. tiritici race Ug99 and its lineages. Thus, this frequent change of virulence in wheat stem rust pathogen population requires a continuous assessment for the appearance of new races and for the evaluation of reactions of the existing wheat varieties.
